Exclude Rooms with Select Room Features from Auto Room Assignment

Users can exclude rooms with selected room features from auto room assignment. For example, users can configure rooms tagged as Smoking Rooms to be excluded from auto room assignment.

Users can exclude the features from being auto assigned by enabling the Exclude from Auto Room Assignment flag for the required feature on the Add/Edit Feature screen (All Settings à Rooms & Room Types à Rooms Presets à Features à Add/Edit Feature). This flag is disabled by default. When enabled, an icon is displayed next to the feature in the Room Types and Property Configuration tabs on the Rooms Setup screen. When users hover over the icon, the following message is displayed: Excluded from Room Auto-Assignment.

When users add a new feature (All Settings à General à Rooms & Room Types à Room Presets à Feature à Add), the following message is displayed as a banner in the Add Feature pop-up screen: Once the feature has been saved, the Name, Code, and Category fields cannot be editable.

When a feature tagged to be excluded from auto assignment is configured to a room number, the room number is excluded from being auto assigned to reservations from the following screens:

• Batch Operations

• Tape Chart

• Reservation

• Book a Reservation

When creating a reservation, the rooms with the Exclude from Auto Room Assignment flag enabled will not be auto assigned even if the Auto Room Assignment option is enabled for the room type. However, users can manually assign these rooms to reservations.
